PICK IT UP
By Wireko Ebenezer,
Freeman House
All persons no matter how big make mistakes
But history teaches us that big people refuse to falter because of
their mistakes. Henry Ford forgot to put a reverse gear in his
first automobile. Thomas Edison once spent over $2million on
an invention which proved of little value. The person who
makes no mistakes lacks boldness and the spirit of adventure.
They are the ones who never try anything new; they are the
brake on the wheel of progress. Remember a mistake becomes
an error only when nothing is done to correct it ………

POSITIVE THINKING AND DETERMINATION
By Appiah-Kubi Justice
Pearson House 3S5
There is a great power in positive thinking. It is wonderful and fuels the student's determination to work hard. It is indispensable in a successful academic work.
You need to think positively so that success may come your way. Be confident that you are going to have grades like A and B only. God blesses so if you think that the level is too high, so you cannot jump it, you will truly not be able to jump. The negative thought will truly make you not be able to jump. The negative through will work you down. Some people are so pessimistic that nothing works well for them.
It is not enough to have a positive thought and relax. Determine to work harder to achieve your aim.
Success cannot be achieved on a silver platter. No cross, no crown. In boxing, the crown is won in the ring with determination. Determination throughout the number of years allotted for your course will make you successful.
Nothing on this earth is easy to do. You need determination to keep the struggle spirit up. Find successful scholars and use as your model. Build a desire to obtain the academic honors that the person has attained. Your parents and guardian have spent so much on you. They will be permanently happy about you if you come out with flying colours. If you fail the examination, particularly in life you will make them unhappy and regret due to the amount wasted. It is for the sake of these people that you have to work harder and harder.
Never forget that your own future happiness is at sake; and if you fail in life, first you've disappointed your God who created you, your parents, your nation and finally those who look up to you as a role model.
Think positively, and work with determination and success will crown your efforts.
